How long...?

I from the UK so to find super cheap skis I need to know what's the max I can get away with lengthwise.

I'm 6' 2 1/2" but skinny at 163 lb.

I'm a solid skier but just starting out in the park, 360s is as far as I've got, and i learned that on alpines, in england, in a field.

I've skiied twins abroad before but I want my own pair, help me please +k for you
 
Generally instead of lowering swing weight you increase stiffness and find bigger jumps. I don't know if thats an option for you though. I've done 9s off super tiny shit though, its all about how you jump, not your equipment. Go with the longest you can find for sure, and either hit bigger stuff or just pop harder and go deeper. Besides, short skis look ridiculous.
 
Ok, thanks. I'm gonna have to find some cash from somewhere though and do this right, cos anything cheap is 170 or lower
 
I'm 6'1", 165lbs. I ride a 181 park ski and a 189 big mountain/pow ski. Be careful not to go to short otherwise you'll lose stability. I rode a 177 for a while which seemed to be a good length. Personally I wouldn't go shorter than that. It just depends on what you prefer. I also like a stiffer park ski, some are to floppy for me.
 
god damnt.

Haha thank you. You should bump the thread if you liked it, it didn't really get any traffic after I told everybody what was up.
